Therese...
If you know anything at all about me then you know I try very hard to comment with originality. I have posted that video on your blog post for several reasons. One, I used this song as a guideline while I raised my twin boys who are now going on 31. Secondly, after reading your post and the comments I found myself humming this song. If you're offended by a video on your post, I will not be offended if you want to delete. Thanks for the well thought out and well written post. I likes it :)
TLW...ROAR!
Hi Lovely Wife of Broker Bryant!
Loved the Video...now I'm humming it!! :)
Ahhh. So glad you liked it. I have been humming that since I read your post.
For the record you can call me TLW or Billie. Either one is much easier to type :)
Hi Therese,
Sometimes I think that "customer service" no longer exists. In the past, my husband and I had kept a separate checking account to keep track of all of our investing finances on rental and investment property. During a period that we didn't have any properites and the account and held a minimum balance... the bank actually over-drafted our account to charge us a fee for inactivity!!!
Can you believe that?! I quickly had the charges reversed after explaining how absurd it was... and I immediately closed our account!
I believe it happens... and I believe it's definitely in the banks best interest to reverse the charges.
I think they most likely will. Keep us posted as to what happens... and good luck to Corey!
Julie...Thanks for stopping by...I can't believe the stories I am hearing and everything the Banks seem to think they can get away with!! The scary thing is is that probably more often than not they do. I will be sure to get back with the outcome.
Therese, didn't even realize you were a fellow Gander when I replied to your blog. I am, of course, a misplaced Gander, and probably as close to a native Texan as you can get without being born here. Spent the first 18 years in MI and then migrated.
My oldest is 23 now and is now earning quite a bit comparatively. The bank that treated him right in the first place has gained his loyalty. He's soon to get married and within the next year will buy a home. Just a few months ago he was a poor college student....
Amazing how fast they grow, wonder if the bank manager knows????
Chris: It is so......amazing how fast they grow! I keep trying to freeze them and they won't let me. I have no doubt Corey has a very bright future ahead of him and I am so proud.
It just makes your heart swell when you witness your children being successful in life and making their own way doesn't it? (oops...the mommy in me just came out again) :)
Therese,
That was a wonderful post. I believe you have to teach children to find their voices and start to stand up for themselves when they believe they are right, even if it's against an "authority" figure.....not something I USED to teach them when they were younger. Now they need to stand their ground and defend themselves when they believe they are right. Wonderful advice you gave to Corey and something he'll always remember.
Carole: Thank you Carole. I couldn't agree with you more as long as it is done with respect. :)
Hi everyone! Thanks for all the support and kind words...Corey really appreciated all the comments he received and was very appreciative!
I did send out an additional post yesterday regarding "The Outcome."
Thanks again...AR is fabulous!
